  • Description

    Exciting accounts of eight anthems spanning nearly two hundred years, with a welcome emphasis firmly on recent works.

    CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

    "Listening straight through this disc is a moving experience, for Layton has chosen a notable list of anthems. Highly recommended." – Fanfare "Followers of British church music will snap this refulgently sung recital up, and await eagerly its successors." – BBC Music Magazine; Recording 5 STARS, Performance 4 STARS

    "ecstatic dynamic singing with sensitive, orchestrally coloured accompaniments and an unerring sense of architectural balance" – Gramophone

    "This is a superb album. Stephen Layton has selected some thrilling pieces and his choir, which is on tremendous form throughout, sings them wonderfully. Their performances are alive to every nuance in the music and technically the singing is beyond reproach." – MusicWeb International

    Cecilia McDowall Sacred Choral Works CDA68251

    Gerald Finzi Choral Works CDA68222

    'What a beautifully crafted disc this is - not just in its quality (and it really is Trinity at their absolute best), but also in its shape and programming....[an] outstanding release'. (Gramophone)
